Manipulate MS Project Files in Java via Cloud REST API

Aspose.Tasks for Cloud offers the ability to manipulate and convert Microsoft Project MPT, MPP, MPX & Oracle Primavera XER, XML, and PrimaveraP6XML files in Java. Aspose.Tasks Cloud SDK for Java wraps the REST API to make it easier for the developers to integrate MS Project Task Management features in their own cloud-based Java applications on Linux, MacOS, Windows or Android.

Feel free to explore the Developer's Guide & API Reference to know all about Aspose.Tasks Cloud API.

        TasksApi tasksApi = new TasksApi(clientId, clientSecret, baseUrl);

        String localPath = PathUtil.get(localFolder, fileName);
        String remotePath = PathUtil.get(remoteFolder, remoteName);

        UploadFileRequest uploadRequest = new UploadFileRequest(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(localPath)), remotePath, null);
        tasksApi.uploadFile(uploadRequest);
		
        GetReportPdfRequest request = new GetReportPdfRequest(remoteFileName, ReportType.MILESTONES.getValue(), null, null);
        File result = tasksApi.getReportPdf(request);
